We look forward to every DX contest to share this great competitive experience that we have here in the USA with many Multi Multi teams. W3LPL has an incredible run of participation in this contest and we congratulate them. Way to go guys! This time there was fantastic USA MM competition with very close scores at the top. All multi operator teams share some special team moments and we are thankful to spend 48 hours enjoying our radio hobby with close friends here in West Middlesex, PA at the K3LR station. Another close race at the top with emphasis on big time fun with the best of friends! Yes, this is special - it is the friendships that make this so special! This operation was dedicated to our close friend and long time CQWW fan Paul, W0AIH who recently became a silent key. Thanks to lots of hard work before, during and after the contest by my very good friend Dave, W9PA who is with us every step of the way. To keep over 25 K3LR computers running for our contesting efforts is a big job. Very TU to W9PA! Also thanks to Greg, W8WWV for all of his help with the keeping the hardware here at K3LR best in class. And huge thanks to Tim, W3YQ who is the K3LR "project master". Thanks to Bob, N6TV for all of his WinTest advice, scripts and setups. Thanks to N2NC for all of his food prep - making sandwiches and giving us propagation advice. HF Radio conditions were much different from last year, which allowed for more fun on the low bands. Amazing to see the K index stay very low all weekend K1TO, K5GN and N3SD had a blast on 20 meters. The super 40 meter team of N2NC, W2RQ and VE3RA kept the band manned for almost the full 48 hours with lots of good DX. K3UA and G4TSH worked 80 meters and enjoyed some excellent DX conditions. N6TV and N6AN were the awesome 15 meter team with good rates and some cool DX. N3GJ and VE3RA swept up everything they could find on 10. The K3LR station hardware is listed on the HARDWARE tab of http://www.k3lr.com (recently updated) K3LR QSLs 100% direct via the mail, via the QSL buro, LoTW, Club Log and eQSL. We'll see you in February and March 2019 for the ARRL International DX Contests! On behalf of the K3LR Multi Multi Team, Season's Greetings and Best DX! Very 73!
